The present invention relates to a hybrid mobile communication terminal and a method of operating the same. Particularly, when the operation is normally suspended while performing a specific operation, the time count according to the operation is paused, so that the timeout of the normally suspended operation is stopped. This invention relates to a hybrid mobile communication terminal and a method of operating the same.

Recently, a mobile communication terminal provides a packet data service for accessing the wireless Internet in a wide range of mobile communication environments, thereby enabling data communication in addition to voice communication, and providing a multimedia service by transmitting and receiving a large amount of data.

In particular, a mobile communication terminal supporting one or more different communication protocols such as a protocol centering on voice communication and a data communication protocol for transmitting and receiving a large amount of data is called a hybrid mobile communication terminal. For example, in the hybrid mobile communication terminal, CDMA 1x for voice communication and EV-DO are implemented in one mobile communication terminal.

The hybrid mobile communication terminal accesses a code division CDMA 1x system using a voice service, and accesses a time division EVDO system using a multimedia service, thereby providing both a voice service function and a multimedia service function according to a user's selection. Support.

However, when a voice call is received during data transmission and reception through EVDO, the mobile communication terminal pauses data communication through the EVDO and performs a voice call. In this case, the pause of the data communication for the voice call is performed. In spite of the normal operation, it is determined that data transmission fails, and thus there is a problem in that it is recognized as abnormal operation.

At this time, the timer for counting the time according to the data transmission and reception counts the time even during normal data transmission and reception is stopped and timed out after a predetermined time elapses, so that the mobile communication terminal is recognized as abnormal operation, The operation according to the data communication is stopped.

Therefore, the hybrid mobile communication terminal does not consider the operation according to the other communication method as described above, and thus the operation is stopped due to the timeout according to the elapsed time in the normal operation state. By timeout processing, there is a problem that the frequency of occurrence of timeout increases.

In addition, even if the mobile communication terminal is in normal operation, the set time according to the data retransmission is long due to the transmission failure, and if the data communication is normally performed after the end of the voice call, the set time is longer as described above, which is unnecessary. There is a problem that a delay occurs.

The present invention is derived to solve the above problems of the prior art, by suspending the time count for a particular operation that is normally paused, so that no timeout for the operation in the normal state occurs, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid mobile communication terminal and a method of operating the same, which reduce a delay time when the operation is performed again.

Hybrid mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for solving the above problems is a timer for counting the time for the operation performed; And a controller configured to determine whether to suspend a normal pause or to pause the timer for counting a time according to the execution of the first operation when the first operation to be paused is performed. When the first operation is paused as the second operation is started according to a communication method different from the first operation during the first operation, the pause of the first operation is returned to the normal state. Judgment unit for judging; And controlling the driving such that the time count of the timer for the first operation is paused when the temporary stop of the first operation is in a normal state according to a determination result of the determination unit, and the pause of the first operation is in a normal state. If not, it includes an operation control unit for counting the time for exception processing due to a malfunction, and stops the first operation when time out.

In addition, the method of operating a hybrid mobile communication terminal according to the present invention comprises: a first step in which a second operation is started and the first operation is paused while performing a first operation; A second step of determining whether the pause of the first operation is a normal pause or normal; When the pause of the first operation is in a normal state, the time count for the first operation is paused, the second operation is performed again after the second operation is completed, and the time for the first operation is counted again. Third step; And a fourth step of counting a time for exception processing according to a malfunction, interrupting a connection and stopping data transmission when the temporary stop of the first operation is not normal.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a hybrid mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the hybrid mobile communication terminal according to the present invention includes a data processor 40 for performing data communication for a multimedia service, a call processor 30 for performing a voice service, and the data processor 40. Or a timer 20 for counting the time for exception processing according to the operation of the call processor 30 and the timer 20 by determining whether the data processor 40 or the call processor 30 operates normally. It is configured to include a control unit 10 for controlling the.

In addition, the hybrid mobile communication terminal stores a key input unit 50 including a plurality of key buttons, a display unit 60 for outputting an operation state of the hybrid mobile communication terminal, and control data according to driving of the mobile communication terminal. Memory 70 is configured.

The data processor 40 transmits and receives a large amount of data by accessing a mobile communication server or the Internet according to the EVDO method through a mobile communication network. In this case, the EVDO is a packet-centric service that transmits packet data at high speed by dividing users in a time division manner, and is mainly applied to video and data services.

The call processor 30 transmits and receives voice data to and from other mobile communication terminals according to the CDMA 1x method through a mobile communication network, and performs a voice call. In this case, the CDMA 1x distinguishes users by a code division method and mainly fixed data. Applied to voice service with data rate.

Here, the hybrid mobile terminal is one or more communication methods are provided in one mobile communication terminal as described above, the present specification will be described with an example that the hybrid terminal is equipped with EVDO, CDMA 1x method. It also specifies that EVDO and CDMA 1x are not limited.

The controller 10 pauses the operation of the data processor 40 when receiving a voice call from the call processor 30 while transmitting and receiving data through the data processor 40. The voice call through 30 is performed.

Here, the controller 10 allows one operation to be paused and another operation to be performed between the data processor 40 and the call processor 30 using different communication methods.

That is, the controller 10 temporarily stops data transmission of the data processor 40 and activates the call processor 30 to perform a voice call. In addition, when the voice call by the call processor 30 is completed, the controller 10 causes data transmission of the paused data processor 40 to be resumed.

In this case, when the data transmission is paused as described above, the controller 10 determines whether the data processing unit 40 is in a normal state and controls the timer 20 to stop the time count according to the data transmission. .

At this time, the controller 10 controls the driving of the timer 20 according to the determination result of the determination unit 11 and the determination unit 11 to determine whether or not the specific operation being performed is stopped. It is configured to include an operation control unit 12.

The determination unit 11 determines whether the suspended operation is normally paused or stopped due to a malfunction when the operation being paused is temporarily stopped.

That is, when the data processor 40 is paused by the voice call of the call processor 30 which is started during the data transmission as described above, the determination unit 11 is caused by a data transmission error due to the transmission failure. It is determined whether the pause or normal pause according to the communication method of the hybrid mobile communication terminal.

Here, when the data transmission of the data processing unit 40 is paused by the call processing unit 30 of a different communication method, the determination unit 11 recognizes this as a normal pause and determines a normal state.

In this case, the order according to the operation of the call processing unit 30 or the data processing unit 40 is irrelevant, and includes all of the pauses according to different types of operations in the hybrid mobile communication terminal.

The operation control unit 12 controls the time count for the operation performed by controlling the driving of the timer 20 according to the determination result of the determination unit 11.

In this case, when it is determined by the determination unit 11 that the normal state, the operation control unit 12 controls the timer 20 to stop the time count for the operation being performed.

That is, when the data processing unit 40 is normally paused as described above, the operation control unit 12 stops the time count according to the data transfer of the data processing unit 40 of the timer 20 temporarily. do.

On the other hand, the timer 20 separately performs a time count for exception processing according to the voice call initiated by the call processor 30.

In addition, when it is determined by the determination unit 11 that the temporary stop due to an error, the operation control unit 12 causes the timer 20 to count the time for exception processing due to a malfunction, and the specified time elapses. After the timeout (Timeout) it is to stop the operation accordingly.

The operation control unit 12 causes the paused operation to be restarted when the started operation is completed. That is, when the voice call by the call processor 30 is completed, the operation controller 12 causes the data transfer of the data processor 40 to be performed again.

At this time, the operation control unit 12 controls the timer 20 so that the data transmission and reception of the data processing unit 40 is performed again and the time count according to the data transmission is performed again.

Accordingly, the hybrid mobile communication terminal according to the present invention allows the time count of the timer 20 to be paused for a normal pause operation in consideration of a different communication scheme, whereby a timeout occurs in a normal state. To prevent the delay of time due to timeout.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a hybrid mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 illustrates a hybrid terminal for stopping a time count according to the first operation by determining whether the first operation is in a normal state when the second operation is started while the first operation is started. It relates to the operation method, it is specified that the first operation is a data communication, the second operation is described as an example of the voice call.

According to a data communication method, data is transmitted and received through a mobile communication server or the Internet, and a time according to the data transmission is counted through a timer. (S1)

Here, the timer counts the absolute time for the operation performed in the mobile communication terminal, and also counts the time for exception processing in case of malfunction.

When a voice call is received while performing the data communication (S2), the data communication is paused and the voice call is performed. (S3)

At this time, for the paused data communication, it is determined whether the data communication is paused or is in a normal operation state due to a malfunction or a data transmission failure. (S5)

That is, during data transmission and reception, it is determined whether the connection from the mobile communication server or the Internet is interrupted, data is not transmitted due to an error of the mobile communication server or the Internet, or data transmission fails due to a malfunction of the mobile communication terminal. In addition, in the hybrid terminal, it is determined whether the data transmission is normally paused by another communication method provided.

In this case, since the data communication and the voice call use different communication methods, when the voice call is detected and started during the data transmission as described above, it is determined that the data transmission is temporarily stopped.

When it is determined that the paused data communication is in a normal state, the timer operation according to the data transmission is paused so that time is not counted while the data transmission is paused. (S6)

In this case, since the data transmission is normally paused, the data transmission is prevented from timeout for exception processing due to a malfunction.

When the voice call is completed (S7), the paused data communication is performed again, so that data being transmitted and received is retransmitted. In addition, the timer according to the data transmission is restarted to count the time. (S8)

On the other hand, if it is determined that the suspended data communication is not in a normal state, the time for exception processing due to a malfunction is counted, and when a timeout occurs after a certain time, the connection is interrupted and the data transmission is stopped. .

As described above, the hybrid mobile communication terminal and its operation method according to the present invention have been described with reference to the illustrated drawings. However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, and the technical idea is within the scope of protection. Can be applied.

The hybrid mobile communication terminal and its operation method according to the present invention configured as described above determine the normal state of the suspended operation and temporarily suspend the time count accordingly, thereby preventing timeout during the normal operation. It reduces the time-out frequency that occurs, reduces the user's hassle due to the reset according to the time-out, and reduces the delay time when the paused operation is performed again, thereby improving the reliability of the product.
